Even though Attack on Titan is already over, the franchise still knows how to pull fans back in. This time, the update is coming from WIT Studio, the team behind the anime’s first three seasons, and it starts with a brand new look at Eren Yeager.
WIT Studio has confirmed a new monthly drawing project for Attack on Titan, with illustrator Kyōji Asano creating fresh artwork of fan favourite characters. The project was announced on the studio’s official website on April 18, and the first visual puts the spotlight on Eren in his pre-timeskip design.
That part is important, actually. Since WIT handled the anime before the major timeskip and MAPPA later took over the final arc, this project seems to be focused on the era and character looks associated with Seasons 1 to 3. So if you were hoping for older Eren or post-timeskip designs, that does not seem to be the direction here, at least for now.
Asano is not just some random guest artist either. He played a major role in Attack on Titan during WIT’s run, serving as Chief Animation Director, Character Designer, Key Animator, and also directing the anime’s opening and ending themes. So for longtime fans, this project has real sentimental value. It is basically one of the key visual architects of early Attack on Titan returning to revisit the cast.
According to the studio, these new visuals are being launched through the I.G & WIT Anime Studio Store. The artwork will be displayed in-store, and fans who buy Attack on Titan merchandise can also get bonus postcards featuring the illustrations.
Here’s how that works:
- Fans need to spend 2,000 yen or more on Attack on Titan merchandise
- Only one postcard is given per transaction
- The campaign is limited to I.G & WIT Anime Studio Stores in Tokyo and Kyoto
For Malaysian and wider SEA fans, that means this is cool news, but also very much a Japan-first collector project. Unless the bonus items show up later through resellers or proxy services, local fans probably should not expect an easy official way to grab them right away. Still, if you are the type who collects artbooks, postcards, or franchise merch, this is exactly the kind of release that can become a small must-have.
The bigger takeaway is that Attack on Titan is still being kept very visible even without a new anime or manga sequel on the table. The report notes there is still no sign that creator Hajime Isayama plans to expand the story further with a spin-off or continuation. That is not too surprising, especially given how much pressure and burnout he reportedly dealt with during the manga’s original run.
Instead, the series keeps living on through special art, merchandise, printed extras, and theatrical events. Earlier in 2026, the franchise also returned with a Dolby Cinema remaster of Attack on Titan: The Final Chapter – The Last Attack, a compilation film built from the two-part finale. So while there is no new sequel announcement here, the brand is definitely not going quiet.
For SEA anime fans, especially the ones who grew up with Attack on Titan as one of the defining shows of the 2010s, this kind of project hits more like a nostalgia flex than a major franchise revival. No new season, no new manga, but still enough to remind everyone how strong the series’ legacy is.
And honestly, seeing WIT revisit Eren again? That alone is enough to get old-school fans talking.
